Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 6 tablespoons Ice water
- 1 teaspoons Apple cider vinegar (optional)
Directions
Step 1
1. Attach the paddle attachment to your electric mixer. Place the all-purpose flour and salt into the mixing bowl and stir on low speed for a few seconds to combine.
Step 2
2. Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter into the bowl. Mix on low speed until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, with pea-sized bits of butter still visible.
Step 3
3. In a small bowl, combine ice water and apple cider vinegar, if using. Gradually add the liquid 1 tablespoon at a time to the mixer while it runs on low speed. Stop as soon as the dough comes together but is not too wet or sticky.
Step 4
4. Turn the dough out onto a clean, lightly floured surface. Divide it into two equal portions, flattening each into a disc. Wrap each disc tightly in plastic wrap.
Step 5
5. Refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour before rolling it out. This step is crucial for keeping the butter cold and ensuring a flaky crust.
Step 6
6. When ready to use, roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness. Use it to line your pie dish or prepare it as the top crust for your savory pie.
Step 7
7. Proceed with your pie recipe as directed, baking the crust as required.
